More about prom dresses

I have looked at the sites and shops that people have mentioned, but I have a twist to the dilemma(!). Basically, I could do with a long-sleeved prom dress because I have some scars I don't to be seen. I just won't feel comfortable with my arms on display. However, the catch is that it is in June so they have to be loose or net or something so I don't fry!

Thanks in advance everyone...

    Pain in the backside though, I've done that before and it gets irritating. A thin / lacy jacket might work, though.. :chin:

    Thanks!

    i was watching this wedding dress program thing once, and they had this amazing dress on there, and i know it's not quite a wedding, but you could steal the idea.

    the main dress was really simple, strapless, slightly flared at the bottom, and then it had like a seperate long sleeved mesh top, that was ruched over the waist bit.

    and i know that description sounds kinda crap, but it was really pretty. and because the top was mesh, it'd be airy and kinda sexy, while you're still totally covered up.

    Although I admit I have no idea what your scars are like, couldn't you use some sort of make-up or concealer to cover them up? It seems a shame to have to cut out all your wardrobe options.

    I also like kaffrin's idea.

    No, make-up tends to rub off in my experience and I'd hate to mark my pretty frock (not a good look)! I might be OK without, we'll see...

    You want either Dermablend or Veil. They cover all sorts, even tattoos.
